Feeling Numb In Right Side Of Tongue, Increasing While Eating, Tired

Hi,
my right tongue side, middle to back feels a bit numb and very smooth.
It feels like the feeling increases when I'm eating something.
I had it for 4 days now... tongue looks quite normal.
I haven't seen any doctor for that but I checked my blood pressure with grandmas machine and it was 93/144.
I don't really feel any other symptoms... maybe just a bit tired and not eating so much these last couple of days.

I hope you can help!

Cheers,

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding numbness on right half of tongue and back of it, though your B.P. is normal.

The are of tongue involved in your case is getting sensory supply from chorda tympani passes through middle ear and motor supply from hypoglossal nerve. Therefore lesion is most likely is either in middle ear or in the retro molar region.This really demands the complete neurological examination. Therefore consultation with neurologist is must.

Regards.
